2014-02-25
If you are in a valid Washington state same-sex registered domestic partnership or RDP and neither of you has reached age 62, mark the date June 30, 2014, on your calendar. Washington's marriage equality law that recently made same-sex marriage legal contains provisions that will automatically convert your RDP to a marriage as of that date if you take no action. RDPs in which proceedings for dissolution of the partnership (or for separation or annulment) have been filed and are pending on June 30, 2014, will not be converted to marriage on that date. Registered partners ...

Seamen injured on Louisiana drilling rig may seek "punitive" damages

2014-02-25
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently ruled that the victims in a drilling rig accident on a Louisiana waterway may seek "punitive" damages in their lawsuit against the company. The accident resulted in the death of one seaman and injuries to three others. Because the accident occurred on a barge on a navigable waterway (Bayou Sorrell), the matter is covered by maritime law. While the lower court agreed with the company's argument that this particular claim for damages is not available under statutory maritime law, the federal ...

Estate planning considerations common to baby boomers in Colorado

2014-02-25
If you were born between 1946 and 1964, you are a member of the baby boomer generation. At the end of World War II, returning military personnel married in droves and, shortly thereafter, had many babies, creating a "baby boom." As this generation of children aged, they gained a reputation as the wealthiest and most physically fit generation of their time. Whether due to a struggling economy or the high cost of long-term medical care, the parents of baby boomers often do not have many financial resources to leave behind as they pass away. However, longevity ...

Statistics show PA workers' comp prescription costs among highest

2014-02-25
The workers' compensation system provides a crucial safety net for people hurt on the job, as anyone in Pennsylvania, who has faced a workplace injury knows. Unfortunately, recent reports indicate that Pennsylvania is among the states with the highest workers' compensation program costs resulting from physician dispensing of prescription drugs. Although this may not directly affect people who draw on workers' compensation, it could put a financial strain on the workers' compensation system, making it harder for injured workers to receive the benefits they are entitled to. Repackaging ...

How old is too old to drive? The answer varies

2014-02-25
As our loved ones get holder, we owe it to them to do our part to help them stay safe and healthy. In some cases, this may mean having a difficult discussion about whether your elderly friend or relative should still be driving a car. Some elderly people will be able to drive safely for their entire lives. However, for others, the physical and mental changes that come with getting older substantially increase the likelihood of a serious, or even fatal, car accident. Recognizing the warning signs Because age related changes often come on gradually, it can be hard ...
